(:nl:)!!MPICT Faculty Development Week

'''Description'''

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the core principles and foundations of interaction design, information design, and user experience design. We will interleave discussions of user interface design principles with hands-on design exercises crafted to clarify, illustrate, and elucidate the principles. We will explore how to apply the design principles for the web, tablets, smartphones, and other devices (e.g., watches, televisions, and kiosks). This seminar also introduces the basics of Responsive Web Design (RWD), an important technique for designing digital experiences that span all screens regardless of size. Participants will be able to utilize these design principles and exercises to create their own curricula and engage their students in active learning through hands-on, practical experience.

'''Activities'''

During the hands-on labs, participants will form project teams and collaborate as well as work independently to apply design principles to selected user interface and user design problems. Teams will collaborate to identify and define possible solutions, then individuals will design and describe their selected direction.

No prior web design experience is required. Familiarity will common digital design tools is preferred. Bring Pen and paper (for sketching), a USB drive (if you would like to take your project files with you), a smartphone and/or tablet device to view existing web sites or apps or to preview project design documents or prototypes.
